To reduce the incidence of device-associated infections, antimicrobial technologies have been utilized in a variety of ways ranging from bulk-imbedded additives to sur- face grafting techniques.[13,14] In particular, silver-based additive technologies are frequently explored for healthcare applications due to their favorable toxicological profiles and broader regulatory approvals, while silver nanoparticles with controlled, long-term release profiles continue to be a very active and promising area of biomedi- cal research.[15-19] In textile segments such as sports active- wear, biocides are used to prevent the growth of odor- causing bacteria from perspiration.[20,21] Additionally, high-end recreational products such as boats utilize bio- cides to preserve the aesthetics of PVC products used for seat covers since bacterial growth may lead to pink staining caused by specific bacterial metabolites.[22,23] With respect to the mechanism of action, many antimicrobial products work by attacking enzymes common to a variety of microbes, interfering with membrane transport processes (e.g., importing environmental copper into the cells) as well as interfering with iron metabolism pathways.[24,25] Herein, an assortment of both rigid and flexible resins/ compounds will be evaluated for susceptibility to determine whether particular resin chemistries or compounds are inherently vulnerable to microbial growth and subsequent degradation or other deleterious effects.
